Folks, welcome to Rummie's Game Parlor, the Strategic Policy Forum of the National Defense University. Your tax dollars at work, helping make the conduct of illegal, pre-emptive wars more lethal, leaving whole populations more submissive and pliable to Western needs and requirements, and to ensure a more efficient, profitable exploitation of conquered societies. Here's the SPF's home page:http://www.ndu.edu/INSS/SPF/ Note in the upper right-hand corner of this page that on July 18 the SPF (pronounced, appropriately, "spiff") will sponsor "exercises" having to do with Iran "security issues." This general description of SPF's spiffy mission means that 6 weeks after the Divine Strake explosion in Nevada, SPF is going to consider various military attack options on Iran in a special depiction for a select group of members of the U.S. Congress. Armed with the data from the Strake test to help the Pentagon and DOE decide just how much nuclear explosion is enough to collapse the underground facilities of our enemies (an alleged 1400 "hard targets" worldwide, including our enemies in China), leaders of Congress will become even more complicit in the coming mass murder in Iran. After all, mid-term elections are coming up. It says at SPF's site: "The scenario for each game is chosen from potential real-world crises. An expert facilitation team ensures a crisp introduction of the short scenarios and injects, and comprehensive discussion of key issues and likely outcomes. The exercise is a facilitated consensus decision-making exercise in which Congressional Members and Executive Branch participants can examine issues in a 'not for attribution' setting. There are approximately 16 - 20 participants in each game room. Exercise play, lasting about 2 hours and 30 minutes, consists of a tabletop scenario containing several moves and an interactive 'lessons learned' session." The lessons which will not be taught, nor seriously discussed if they are even mentioned at these gatherings are expressed in the Nuremberg Principles and the Nuclear Nonproliferation Treaty.
